Shakespeare's Life and Times

The "Soest" portrait. Reproduced by permission of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

Shakespeare's Life and Times introduces you to the world
Shakespeare lived and worked in. This section of the Internet Shakespeare Editions
is like a shelf of books, each of which is listed in the
navigational bar beneath the page header. Each book,
in turn, is divided into chapters dealing with related topics.

There is a detailed biography of his life (and we actually
know quite a lot about him).
